The Kagyü tradition is one of the major schools of Tibetan Buddhism, among whose contemporary masters are His Holiness the Karmapa, Khenchen Thrangu Rinpoche, and Kalu Rinpoche. Finding inspiration in Milarepa (1052-1135) and many other classical saints of the lineage, the Kagyü tradition is now known for its teachings on mahamudra and the six yogas of Naropa.
